   The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry [PCCI], the biggest agrupation of business organizations in the country has named the province of Tarlac as winner in their nationwide search for the Most Business Friendly LGU [Local Government Unit].

   Credited for the province’s landmark programs and projects for economic development, Tarlac bested the provinces of Cebu, Pangasinan, Ilocos Norte, South Cotabato and La Union in the final screening for the coveted award.

   The awarding ceremony held on October 11 at the Manila Hotel was the highlight for the 38th Philippine Business Conference-Exposition with President Benigno Aquino III leading in the conferment of the awards. Tarlac Governor Victor Yap accepted the award for the province.

   In a statement, Yap thanked the PCCI and credited the people of the province of Tarlac for the award.

   PCCI-Tarlac Chapter, under the guidance of its President Carolina Co-Uy, on the other hand, was named Most Outstanding Chamber in Central Luzon.

   The PCCI has, for the last 10 years, undergone a search to recognize cities, municipalities and provinces that established efforts for investments in their respective areas.
